Americans and Canadians get an aluminum version. That got a smile out of me.

I used to covet the Teac VRDS 7, 10, 20 and 25 cd players of yesteryears. Built like a tank. Good to see this latest version with digital inputs.
20 |
Haha that US /Canadian joke was well played.

Nice one John !Digital inputs on a CD player are a must for me. Especially high end, when you're paying good money you want to be able to utilise the DAC you've paid for.

VRDS transports are the best transports on the planet.
A version of which is also used in $100k Esoteric players and used to be bought by dCS and Wadia until Teac/Esoteric stopped supplying them. This TEAC is a genuine bargain.

Nice review and the Teac looks like a keeper. Thanks again!

Wow...!!! Great review and better yet... Thanks for turning me on to Proem...!!! Nothing better than having someone turn you on to a great book or music...!!! I've started off with Proem's first album - 'Burn Plate No. 1' - as I enjoy beginning with an artist's first album, then listening to the rest of his/her/their work in chronological order, so as to get a sense of their evolution, per se... Thanks again Mr. Darko - much appreciated...!!!

As someone who passed on a Pioneer Elite DVD player with SACD capabilities (working, good condition, no remote) at the thrift (charity shop for Europeans) for all of $8us, I don't know how to feel about units this expensive. I love it. Been a big fan of TEAC/Tascam for a while. I happen to like the looks a lot. Diminishing returns. It's nice that the internal dac can receive external sources. Can you still be a Bonafide audiophile without space program level of spending?

Thanks John, I think I had as much fun as you did with this one. Great to see such complete and nuanced reviewing delivered with panache - well done!
|
So nice to see a review of this player! I’ve had mine since December and it really is something special.
|
I'd love that Teac. I have been a big fan of Teac over the years. Never the coolest brand to like, but often surprisingly good.

Some of teacs higher end amps etc all look amazing, definitely need some more reviews of more of their gear!

Great DAC in this beautiful machine. And s nice valu..TEACs new lines are amazing
3 |
Didn’t even know Teac was making high end audio! Thx John

Ive not seen anything Teac since i was a child 30+ years ago.
|
CD players that have digital inputs are gold. Particularly if you have limited audio rack space.
1 |
Thanks for the Proem recommendation. Great stuff!
2 |
It looks lovely. Will have to save up.

I love how you're so honest and saying things like "it's not a night and day difference" you don't hear that anywhere else imo 😊

Hi John...Liverpool Kev here...Firstly...I love your videos...your presentation style is simply wonderful...I am in my 60s now and have loved 'value HiFi' all of my life and have several HiFi setups across home and office...You clearly have a great sense of humour so hope you take this the right way....several years ago in UK...there was a wine tasting lady on tv who used ever more bizarre descriptions in wine tasting...I am sure she said once 'mmm yes badger with a touch of tarmac'...(might have made that one up) ...some of your descriptions (which I love by the way) have a touch of the Jilly Goolden about them....look her up John...I hope you will appreciate the crossover into high end HiFi audio description...Do take care and thank you so much for your videos....Liverpool Kev
